In Avengers World #18, it is referenced that over that last ‘2 days’ he brought a company of evil scientists, which we can assume is AIM

Avengers World #19 continues from #18.

Avengers World #20 continues from #19.

This leaves us right on the doorstep of Avengers #35.

Avengers World #21 continues from #20, but we can assume that it takes place on the Day of New Avengers #24, as on the last page, we see Namor going to the Illuminati for help with the Cabal. We can assume that this happens shortly after New Avengers #24, where Doom refuses to help him. I’ve placed the whole issue here, however, because whilst he is eating with Doom, he has no wounds, yet on the final page he has one.

Also, don’t forget the final page (17) of Avengers World #17, ‘months’ after the main segment, and shortly before Avengers #35.

#21 doesn’t directly continue from #20, so it should work fine like this:
(Changes in Bold)

Of course, if Sunspot buying AIM has to happen earlier, we can make a much larger gap (weeks or maybe months) between #19 and #20. We can do this because the storyline continues indirectly. But whatever we do, Avengers World #20 really does flow well into Avengers #35.

Spider-Man & the X-Men #1 shows Spider-Man starting a new class at the Jean Grey School, so any comics that have references to Spider-Man being a teacher there have to happen after this (like CA&MA 5).

SM&X 1-3 happen over two days.

SM&X 4-6 (1-28) start some time later, and happen over to days. SM&X 6 (29-30) happen a month later.

It's heavily implied that Spider-Man is only at the Jean Grey School for one semester. I'm assuming this means #1-3 happen in January at the start of the semester. #6 (29-30) isn't the end of the semester, but it's well into it. So, sometime before "mid-May."

* * *

Deathlok v? #1-2 happen over a week, Maria Hill and Domino appear.

#3 happens soon after, probably a day or three. Tony Stark appears in San Francisco, Domino’s still around.

#4 picks up from #3, and happens over a day or two. Domino’s still around.

#5 picks up from #4, and goes into the next day.

#6 picks up from #5, and happens over a day or three. Domino makes a comment that issue #1 was six months ago, but that’s plainly stupid (it’s a real-world publication time reference).

#7 starts shortly after #6, probably the next day, and happens in a day.

#8 picks up from #7, and happens in a day or two.

#9 picks up from #8, and happens in a day.

#10 picks up from #9 and ends the plot.

Basically, as long as this is after Axis for Iron Man and after X-Force for Domino, and before Secret Wars, we’re good.

* * *

Black Widow v? #12 feature a bunch of guest cameos; notably, Spider-Woman is in her classic suit and Punisher is eating breakfast (not in prison). Also, X-23 is in a gym, so not during a storyline over in the Wolverines series. Daredevil appears, but it’s not clear if he’s still a lawyer. Winter Soldier appears, for when we get around to his series. Happens in a day.

#13 starts the day after #12, and happens in a day. J. Jonah Jameson appears on TV, so after he gets his new job over in ASM.

#14 starts shortly after #13, and spans at least a week. #15 happens on the same day as the end of #14, and lasts a day. Winter Soldier appears. #16-17 are also the same day. #18 starts on the same day, then spans a few more days after that. Sam Wilson Cap appears in the later portion, and references his appearance over in Punisher’s book (he’s telling stories with Hawkeye and Captain Marvel, so we don’t know if that was recent or not). Also, Captain Marvel appears on Earth.

#19-20 are “Last Days” tie-ins, and involves Black Widow flaying a ship of survivors as the world ends (they’re mostly flashbacks).

* * *

Punisher v? #10 has Punisher getting ready to break out of a South American prison (he spent AXIs in prison, remember? Not because of any reference in a story, but because of the timing needed by crossing over with Black Widow’s book and for him to heal from his injuries). Lasts a day or two

#11 picks up from #10; Punisher breaks out of Prison and stars making his way back to the States.

#12 starts a day or so after #11, and riots stars in LA. Lasts a day or two.

#13 lasts minutes (it’s mostly flashbacks), and happens on the same night as #12’s end.

#14 happens on the same night as #13.

#15 starts on the same night as #14, and probably goes into the next day.

#16 starts the day after #15 (or could be that night), and Captain America (Sam Wilson) shows up.

#17 picks up from #16, and lasts at least two days, if not a little longer.

Black Widow v? #12-18 has to start after Punisher v? #18 (because Punisher’s free to appear after that), has to happen before S-W5 5 (because of Spider-Woman’s costume), X-23 appears, so either before Wolverines starts or during a break within it, and Cap references Punisher v? #10-18 at the end.

HULK!

I recall there was some kind of problem with the Hulk’s recent chronology. What was it again? (looks around) Oh, yeah, the alternate reality Hulk thing.

As we have it now, Banner gets fixed by Iron Man with Extremis (in Hulk #4) before original Sin.

Then, Original Sin happens, and in the Hulk/Iron Man mini, Hulk uses Extremis (again) to upgrade himself to Doc Green. He’s still switching from Banner to Hulk at this point.

It really looks like the whole “the world thinks the real Hulk is locked up” thing was pretty much ignored by everyone. We’ll have to assume that the word got out to S.H.I.E.L.D. somewhere off-panel before the AXIS crossover.

Let’s look at Hulk’s book, and see how things line up:

Hulk v? #5 has Hulk/Doc Green using an old Enclave base; Hulk is actively trying to not turn into Banner and starts hunting other Hulk-characters. Spans three weeks.

#6 continues from last issue, happens in a day; MODOK is still with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1-4 have to happen when Galactus is in the 616 universe, so presumably after All-New Invaders #5.

Thor is a woman as of USG #5.

USG #6-8 happen sometime after Thor #4. The Avengers in Avengers Tower include Wilson as Cap, Old Steve, Hawkeye, Spider-Man and Black Widow, although there's some mind-control going on, which could explain a lot.

The new Thor goes to Asgard in Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #8, so this should probably happen before Thor v? #5-8, where she's told to stay out of Asgard (because Odin's being a jerk).

Squirrel Girl starts going to school in #1, and it's implied it's the start of the fall semester. However, placing it that far back would put it before All-New Invaders #5, where Galactus comes back to Earth-616. So, I think this should go around the time of Spider-Man & the X-Men #1, which is the start of the spring semester.

Thanks!

Ant-Man #1 lasts AT LEAST three days, but is longer than that. One day and the next for Ant-Man to apply for a job at Stark Industries (it’s a post-AXIS Tony Stark), then quickly move to Florida (he finds out his ex and daughter are moving as they’re loading a moving van). So… a month? However long it takes to get rid of a New York apartment lease, take a plane to Florida, and move in somewhere there (even though it looks like he’s not living in an apartment, but rather living in a toy when he shrinks himself down. But how does he get electricity and a toilet?).

Ant-Man #2 starts soon after #1 (probably a few days later), and lasts AT LEAST two days, but is longer than that. One day and the next for Ant-Man to get a loan, then however long it takes to get a billboard put up. So… a week? Two? Tony Stark appears again, this time preparing to sue Ant-Man over the billboard.

Ant-Man #3 starts soon after #2 (a day or two?), and lasts a day.

Ant-Man #4 stars on the same night as #3, and lasts that night into the next day.

Ant-Man #5 starts on the same day as #4’s end, and lasts AT LEAST two days, but is longer than that (long enough for Cassie Lang to recover in the hospital from a heart transplant, so… four weeks? four months?).

* * *

Moon Knight v? #7 happens in a night. #8 happens relatively soon after, and a phone says it’s “Friday, 11 April.” #9 happens relatively soon after, and happens in an hour. #10 stars the next day, and lasts two days. #11 starts the same day, and lasts AT LEAST two days, if not long. Who knows? #12 starts the same day as #11’s end, and lasts a day or two. No breaks in the story for Moon Knight to appears elsewhere.

#13 happens in a night. Solo story.

#14 happens over a night or two. Solo story.

#15 happens in a night. Solo story, but it sets up the next two issues (Khonshu is empowering other avatars). #16 happens in a night, and Moon Knight finds another avatar. #17 happens in a night. Moon Knight has researched the group from last issue and attacks their boss.

Ant-Man #1 lasts AT LEAST three days, but is longer than that. One day and the next for Ant-Man to apply for a job at Stark Industries (it’s a post-AXIS Tony Stark), then quickly move to Florida (he finds out his ex and daughter are moving as they’re loading a moving van).

One day and the next for Ant-Man to get a loan, then however long it takes to get a billboard put up. So… a week? Two? Tony Stark appears again, this time preparing to sue Ant-Man over the billboard.

Ant-Man #3 starts soon after #2 (a day or two?), and lasts a day.

Ant-Man #4 stars on the same night as #3, and lasts that night into the next day.

Ant-Man #5 starts on the same day as #4’s end, and lasts AT LEAST two days, but is longer than that (long enough for Cassie Lang to recover in the hospital from a heart transplant, so… two weeks?).

One other weird thing about Ant-Man 2-5- it's implied that the reason the other heroes won't answer Scott's calls is because Tony Stark convinced the other heroes to blacklist him but I can't think of any time post-Axis where a request by Stark to blacklist Scott wouldn't be treated with EXTREME suspicion.

Ahh, just noticed (actually my 10-year-old pointed out): Unbeatable Squirrel Girl v 1 #8 ends with Odinson and Loki having a brotherly moment together and a note that "as long as you don't read Loki: Agent of Asgard #10, this happy feeling can last forever!" Definitely pre-Loki #10.

Loki, Agent of Asgard #10-13 (up to page 14) are nearly continuous action, happening maybe a few days after Axis--everyone's still got "inversion hangovers." Per editorial notes, they're after Thor #4, Angela #2 and Bucky Barnes: The Winter Soldier #2. Then there's a "timequake," and Loki's transported about eight months forward to the Final Incursion--the Ultimate Earth is visible in the sky--so the late-in-the-chronology bit is Loki #13 (15-20)-16, and Loki can't really appear anywhere else between the beginning of #10 and the Final Incursion.

Ms. Marvel #12 is going to cause some headaches. An editorial note on the first page indicates that it happens pre-Axis, and it involves a distinctly un-Inverted Loki... but it's set at a Valentine's Day dance.

That's an eagle-eyed kid, good find!

I'll need to keep an eye out for post-AXIS Loki appearances; as you say these need to be his past pre-Secret Wars appearances, so we'll see how "soon" after AXIS these end up being. Hopefully he doesn't have too many appearances elsewhere (at a glance, it looks like just the Angela series, as late as #5).

Also, Loki #13 tells us what "Eight Months Later" is eight months after. The final incursion is eight months after Loki #10. So, if Time Runs Out starts two weeks before the final incursion, then eight months later is two weeks before Loki #10... or roughly the AXIS crossover.

I completely missed that note, and nothing stuck out as me as strange for Loki because I hadn't read his post-AXIS issues yet. Good point!

As for the Valentine's Day dance, I suppose we can assume it was a typo for a Sweetest Day dance, or something.

Thanks!

Speaking of Angela: Asgard's Assassin, I just read it.

#1-6 happen in short order. As mentioned, it all has to happen before Loki #10. Also, the Guardians of the Galaxy appear, and should happen before the Black Vortex crossover. Which reminds me, Gamora is transformed during that crossover, so any appearances she makes while "normal" should probably go before that crossover (unless, of course, she's shown to be able to alter her appearance).

* * *

Silver Surfer v? #8-12 happen off in space. Galactus appears, and publication order says this should be before his appearances in Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. "Months" pass between #11-12.

* * *

Guardians of the Galaxy #26-27 have the Guardians celebrating their victory after the Black Vortex thing. Star-Lord is found by the Spartax and confronted about him being elected President. The Guardians go to Spartax and fight some attacking Chitauri aliens. Star-Lord can’t decide whether to be President or not. Captain Marvel’s not around, so she’s already quit.

* * *

Legendary Star-Lord #12 doesn’t even feature Star-Lord (he’s in a flashback, though), but rather his sister. After the Black Vortex crossover, not that it matters that much.

* * *

Nova v5 #29-31 happens at the end of the school year (so, mid-to-late May) (and, the new Nova finally gets around to telling Rich Ryder’s family that Rich is dead), with no mention of how long it’s been since the Black Vortex crossover, so that’s nice. Rocket Raccoon appears (no mention of Star-Lord or the Guardians), as does Captain Marvel (in space).

* * *

Rocket Raccoon v2 #5 is a one-off story that happens in a night (off in space). There’s a flashback featuring the Guardians; just Rocket & Groot are in the main story.

#6 is another one-off story. Just Rocket this time, but Cosmo makes an appearance.

Howard the Duck #1-5 happen over the course of a week or so; Spider-Man, the Guardians of the Galaxy, She-Hulk, Dr. Strange, the Fantastic Four, Silk, Iron Fist, Captain America/Wilson and Spider-Woman (in her new costume) all appear.

Howard the Duck #1 takes place at some point after the final pages of She-Hulk #12 (Howard's office is in Jen's building).

As of HtD #3, the Ringmaster's eyes seem to have gotten better after Fraction/Aja's Hawkeye #2 (per Amazing Spider-Man #19.1, he's using "black market tech" to see). Also, the Punisher's in HtD #3/2, so it's definitely after Punisher #18.

HtD #5 includes a small, ridiculous continuity insert that takes place immediately after Fantastic Four (1961) #2, for what it's worth.

Guardians Team-Up #4 features Gamora and She-Hulk. She-Hulk’s supporting cast appears, so this is likely after She-Hulk v? #12 (published two months after that). However, Gamora’s not cosmically powered here. Last issue was a tie-in to the story where she became cosmically powered…

Guardians Team-Up #5 features Rocket Raccoon (published the same month as ROCRAC2 11), Cosmo and the Pet Avengers. Likely before ROCRAC2 10.

Guardians Team-Up #6 features Gamora and Nightcrawler (published three months after his series ended). Again, Gamora’s not cosmically powered here…

Guardians Team-Up #7 features Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Ant-Man (published two months after Ant-Man #5). The Guardians are relaxing at a space spa, but again, Gamora’s not cosmically powered here…

Guardians Team-Up #8 features Groot and Silver Surfer (published the same month as SS v? 13). Most likely after SS v? 12.

Guardians Team-Up #9 features Star-Lord, Spider-Man and Black Cat. An editorial captions says this happens “some time ago” and takes place on New Year’s Eve.

Guardians Team-Up #10 features Rocket Raccoon and Deadpool (published four months after DPOOL5 45, but doesn’t Deadpool die there?). I’m not caught up on Deadpool’s series yet, so I’m not sure how this would fit at the moment.

I’m not sure what to make of Gamora in these issues. In theory, it means that Gamora can resume her normal, non-cosmic look after the Black Vortex crossover. But then, why doesn’t she use her cosmic powers in any of these stories? I can guess what the real-world answer is, but still…

* * *

Deadpool v5 #40 happens in the winter time.

Deadpool v5 #41-44 happen in January. Deadpool gets back to "normal" following AXIS and gets back on good terms with his wife. The last page is a cliffhanger that leads directly into next issue, but only a bunch of ULTIMATUM guys appear on that page.

Deadpool v5 #45 spans a week (or so) and ends with the final incursion. Yes, this issue wants to continue from last issue (Deadpool leaves on a plane in #44 and he's still on the plane in #45), but there has to be a break somewhere (between pages 19-20 of last issue) to allow Deadpool to appear in other books before the universe ends. Then there are a bunch of backup stories.

Speaking of Deadpool stories of debatable canon, is Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars canon? I've only read #1-2 (of 4) so far, and while it doesn't completely stick to the story, all of the additional dialogue etc could be off-panel/behind the scenes. It's probably not, but worth asking.

Also, Col_Fury, where are we going to go after this era. I mean, we can't really do the next era, seeing as Marvel's next crossover hasn't been announced, yet alone published, so I guess that the only way to go is back. That Would take us to Secret Wars - Utopia. Am I right? I know that I really do enjoy helping out with these, and it really would be a shame having to wait a year between eras....
